Renovating Homes for Sale

While the official first day of Spring falls in March, it isn’t until April that most people truly experience the season. With more daylight, people resume many of the outdoor plans they’ve abandoned during the winter. This includes sports, vacations, family picnics, and barbecues.

April is especially important to those looking to buy or sell a home. Statistically, a great many houses are placed on the market. This gives families time to find and purchase a new home in advance of the first day of school.

If you’re thinking of placing your house or condo up for sale, it’s best to spruce up the place before the first buyer comes to call. First impressions mean everything, especially when real estate professionals are estimating the eventual selling price. That’s why sellers often rush to paint their homes. However, what they should be doing is calling Vern’s Glass for an on-site estimate.

Windows and Doors

Before selling your house, try to imagine how it looks to a potential buyer seeing it for the first time. Cracked windows, torn screens, and broken screen doors make any property look dilapidated. Once inside your house, aging bathroom mirrors and shower doors are a definite sign that updates are needed.

Kitchens and Bathrooms

Experienced real estate agents will tell you how important it is to modernize kitchens and bathrooms. Upon giving a tour, these are the viewing areas most requested by their clients. This is not at all surprising because kitchens and bathrooms are used extensively by every member of the family.

Luckily, all it takes are new glass counter tops to bring life to any kitchen. Likewise, it goes without saying that glass shower doors are far more impressive than old-fashioned shower curtains. In particular, frame-less glass shower doors receive high marks for their new-age style and function.

Update with Glass

Glass replacement updates any house, making it appear like new. Window and screen repair is the key, as shiny glass windows work to immediately raise resale values. Buyers also appreciate new door screens, including entryways that lead to the outside from kitchens, patios, and decks.

Most importantly, new windows are energy efficient. Future home buyers know that newly replaced windows allow them to save on their heating and cooling bills. This affords them greater peace of mind when thinking of potential home ownership and their monthly budget.
